piracy!

Matthew Yglesias links to a trailer on YouTube about what looks to be a fun new action movie from Japan. But when you try to watch the trailer, you find that “this video is no longer available due to a copyright claim.”

Unless I’m horribly mistaken, a trailer is an advertisement for a film. But the copyright holder couldn’t stand for it to be on YouTube, because heaven forbid the movie get some free publicity. Insane.
